Abstract

This project presents an analysis of the opcode implementations within the Dalvik Virtual Machine(DVM). The analysis targets the portable version of the iterative interpreter with focus on timing predictability. A way to re-factor each implementation follows its inspection. Furthermore, the project includes a discussion on additional work needed to make the DVM fully timing predictable. The discussion points out the need for a different programming model as well as the need for a replacement or removal of the underlying Linux kernel.
